Concept
身体を理解することは、自分を深く知ること
Refinementは
身体の構造を理解し
安定した動きを身につけていくためのスタジオです
うまくなりたい
もっと変わりたい
その想いに応えるために
感覚だけに頼らない方法を選びました
軸を整え
コントロールを身につけ
再現できる動きを積み重ねていく
派手な変化ではなく
確かな変化を大切にしています
大人が安心して学べる環境を軸に
指導者が理解を深められる場として
そして
将来を見据えたジュニア育成へとつながる土台として
それぞれの立場で
身体と丁寧に向き合う時間を重ねていきます
Refinementという名前には
「磨く」「洗練させる」という意味があります
動きだけでなく
理解そのものを磨いていく
ここでの時間が
踊りを、そして向き合い方を
少しずつ変えていくことを願っています
